Mr. President. this $100.000.000 which it is proposed to take from the Public Treasury and send to Europe would build a hardsurfaced road for military and commercial uses. and especially for the benefit of the rural communities. increasing the comfort and prosperity of farmers and of our country communities. from north to south along the Atlantic coast. from the East to the West. along the Gulf and the Mexican border. to the Pacific Ocean. and then along the Pacific coast to the Canadian line. and from there to New York City. If we are so free with the money that is in the Treasury. why not take it and use it for one of these great purposes. not only for the benefit of those now here but offering here greater opportunities for desirable immigrants from other lands? Mr. President. instead of -pending $100.000.000 of the American people to conclude terms of peace. we ought to be collecting something like $25.000.000.000 or $30.000.000.000 from Germany to repay us for the cost of the war which she forced upon the world.
